+1 for MUBI , it is a streaming service with curated high quality cinema. And they have a very accesible plan . They have a notebook or magazine they deliver every few months that is priceless. I have some volumes. For Cinema lovers obviously .

I've barely seen any of the drink alternatives (unfortunately).

Besides Redbull, which I don't drink, I've seen fritz cola, but that's usually at 2-2,5x the price of a coca cola. As an alternative that really stings.

Shop at Aldi or Lidl (German). Although Asda isn't owned by Walmart any more, so I think British supermarkets are all pretty British again, apart from Safeway but I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.

Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. £2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.
